NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - A First Alert Weather Day has been issued for today with a strong-to-severe storm or two possible in the afternoon and evening.

FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY

Scattered showers and storms are expected to develop across the Mid State today so make sure you don’t forget to leave the house without the umbrella this morning. We are under a First Alert Weather Day because some of those storms could be on the strong to severe side this afternoon and this evening. The greatest severe threat is along and east of I-65 at a 2/5 on the threat scale, the rest of the Mid State is at a 1/5 because of heavy rainfall in west Middle Tennessee earlier this morning. Main storm threats will be hail and some brief gusty winds. Any storm could also have a nice downpour along with it

The afternoon high will be in the mid-70s.

The bulk of the rain should taper off overnight with lows dropping into the mid-60s.
